Other nicknames include Dev, Devy or any other derivative of his name. On occasion the more formal will address him as Kevyn, but Devoe always tries to stress informality with others. BIRTHDATE: December 21, an awkward date that always caused a fuss and constant overlapping of presents. AGE: Seventeen GENDER: Male RACE: Human SEXUALITY: Demisexual if we're being technical, but largely inconsequential, as neither lust or romance factors in much in Devoe's life. It's just one of those things that happen. He doesn't give it much thought. Sex itself is largely a mystery. MARITAL STATUS: Single ALIGNMENT: Neutral Good- He's less hung up on rules and more focused on being a decent person. POSITION: Musician, though he's really more a Vocalist since he's untrained in the use of instruments, and simply uses his abilities to mimic their sound. CREW OR ORGANIZATION: None yet APPEARANCE INFORMATION FACE CLAIM: Suzaku, Code Geass HAIR: Brown, and completely incapable of obeying brushes or gels- Devoe's hair is like silky fur, falling down with gravity and simply lying where ever it finds the space, resulting in the messy style he has now. Efforts to make something of this mess have only resulted in the tips of his bangs turning upwards at the very ends. EYES: Devoe's eyes are a murky blend of olive greens, and generally more bright and welcoming than the average person, which combine well with his kind hearted nature. The few moments where he's assertive are marked by his stare becoming much more piercing, though it does less to intimidate and more to show that he's serous. HEIGHT: 5' 9" WEIGHT: 148 lbs BODY BUILD: Though he may not exactly have anything to be shy about, Devoe has as little confidence in his body as the only cheerleader on the squad to be a size six. Maybe it has to do with how soft and squishy he is despite being so skinny, or how any muscle he has tends to vanish beneath his flesh. He's far too thin and fat based for a boy his age- what should have become hard muscle instead turns into softness. Doesn't help that his stomach is a puffy pillow rather than the sought after abs. His skin is fair and he doesn't tan, he turns red. Getting flustered or embarrassed make his skin sprout blotches of red. At least he's past the acne phase, and he still has no need to shave, so his facial skin is extremely smooth. His body is the same for the most part, save for several callused areas, i.e. the knees and shoulders, because he spends far too much time having those places scraped against rough surfaces. He smells roughly of warm lotion and almonds. Lanky and jaunty in posture, Devoe's way of carrying himself communicates a constant state of enthusiasm. ATTIRE: Devoe's wardrobe is split into two distinct categories that, fortunately, don't get the same amount of attention: work and play. Whenever he's got the chance to properly plan ahead for the workday behind the desk, or a mission beforehand, Devoe's clothes take on a normally polished and professional look. He wears a wide variety of suit jackets and blazers, ties and all, and would look the part of a young professional if he didn't insist on wearing sneakers with everything. Thankfully, that's only for special occasions, and he puts much more importance on the other categories. The second set of outfits are mostly for more casual times, consisting of the sort of clothing you'd expect of someone his age- its where the style of shorts, rolled up sleeves, hoodies, and floppy collars takes its hold. OTHERS: PERSONALITY INFORMATION LIKES: Meeting new people, painting, sweets, singing, naps outdoors DISLIKES: Stress, violence, dry foods, stubbornness, racism SKILLS: Devoe is an extremely accomplished vocalist. While he's not aiming to be the best singer in the world, Devoe's voice is certainly one of the more varied out there. He has no problem changing the tone, pitch and sound of his voice, and is an expert at manipulating his sound. This skill is so advanced that he is capable of mimicking just about any sound he has heard, executing extremely taxing and complex cacophonies the normal human being is incapable of. Using this skill, Devoe has learn to 'sing' music, allowing him to produce the sounds of instruments through sheer vocal power, as well as other sounds. He has even learned to 'juggle' different sounds, allowing him to sing, provide music, and even recite two things all at once. Devoe's control of his voice is almost superhuman in nature, and a natural gift, like some people's abilities to produce flames, or other non Devil Fruit based anomalous abilities. Because of his time running his own reststop, Devoe is also a talented homemaker, quartermaster, and organizer. His artistic inclinations are not limited to vocal mastery, and he's also skilled at the visual arts, but to a much normal degree. Finally, while he lacks the finesse and grace of formal training, Devoe is a capable dancer due to his natural rhythm. His lung capacity is greater than most others, making him an accomplished swimmer as well. PERSONALITY: Needy, childish, and clingy are some of the most apt phrases used to describe Devoe. Devoe is a young man who lives to be a little boy- his ambition is zero and motivational drive is none; he finds no pleasure in following the typical mode of life in thinking ahead or planning out the next ten years of his life like the average person his age. He doesn't feel comfortable dealing with responsibilities and having set goals presented to him generally result in an annoying reaction of immature apathy. Growing up, his parents were highly goal orientated individuals, and he witnessed first hand the irritating commotion that takes over someone's life when they chase after something; always having a deadline to worry about, something to do, a schedule to follow. Even social life was overtaken by it- that cocktail party or mixer was just another chance at networking for career advancement. As a result, Devoe developed a distaste for this lifestyle, and while it's normal for people his age to dislike 'having too much on their plates', Devoe simply hates having much of anything on his. He would much rather have days empty of obligation, and its only to please his parents (and keep their funding) that he's bothered attending school at all. Because of this, and his general nature, Devoe comes across as irresponsible, unstable, and generally too much of an airhead to function in society. While not exactly quick to do this, he does usually end up proving these impressions of him wrong- when it's something he's interested in, Devoe is capable of showing intense dedication, skill, and effort. Unfortunately, just like his attitude, diet, and everything else about him, these interests are more appropriate for a twelve year old. Regardless, he is incredibly intelligent. Devoe's brains aren’t the product of years of intense study, nor are they a natural genius. He lacks the discipline to pursue academia much more than neccessary, and he can’t be considered something as ridiculous as a boy genius. Devoe instead demonstrates an honest interest in a variety of subjects, becoming quite the trivia junkie. His major talents lie in researching, and he has spent many hours reading books on thinly related subjects just to satisfy his own curiosity. He is well versed in many fields, and whenever he speaks confidently on a subject, it is safe to assume that he has three other snippets on the same topic locked away in his head. Even more potent is Devoe's application of all the ‘useless trivia’ he has amassed over his lifetime—he applies any knowledge he has viciously whenever he is prompted. Finally, Devoe is most comfortable when singing. While he's far from shy or reserved, he finds himself most composed under the spotlight of a small crowd. When he sings for someone, he generally calms down, making it a more intimate affair than necessary. He abandons all boundaries, favoring propinquity with his audience, clasping hands with whatever person he has chosen. COMBAT INFORMATION SPECIALTY: what does your character specialize in fighting wise? FIGHTING STYLE: Devoe doesn't have a fighting style per se. His combat skills are negligible, and he rarely finds himself resorting to violence. Regardless, Devoe does have some tricks up his sleeves should the occasion ever warrant it. First and foremost is his wits and cleverness. His first inclination would be to avoid being hurt and to leave the situation as quickly as possible. He has the strength and agility of a normal person his age who engages in moderate exercise. His strikes won't break any bones, nor will he flash step his way out of danger. However, should push come to shove, Devoe is not entirely defenseless. The same voice that he uses as a hobby serves him as a weapon. His singing does not have the melodious mental manipulation of the atypical songstress repitoire- he won't be putting anyone to sleep, or soothing allies with his voice. Instead, where most would use fists to strike, Devoe uses lung power. The anomalous effects of his voice and lung capacity, allow him to harness his singing and screaming into brief, concussive blasts of air and sound.
